- “Sliding Boxes and Captions with jQuery”—the demo for this article speaks to me.
- “Accessible Charts & Graphs from Table Elements using HTML 5 Canvas and jQuery”
- “A fancy Apple.com-style search suggestion”

- “Create a gallery by using z-index and jQuery” and “Enhancing the z-index Gallery with a Preloader” for more advanced stuff.
- “Automated image preloading for a snappy UI”—“ Our script parses through linked and imported stylesheets and creates an array of all the image urls they contain. Then it loops through the array of urls and creates an image object for each one so they'll be cached and ready for later use. Sound familiar? That’s because it’s nearly the same as the traditional JavaScript approach, but with the major added advantage of automation.”
- “Quick Tip: Resizing Images Based On Browser Window Size”
- “A jQuery inline form validation, because validation is a mess”
- “Create an Amazon Books Widget with jQuery and XML”
- “Using jQuery To Manipulate and Filter Data”
